Grrrrr…..

February 8, 2004/

I just tried to write my parents and my sister, both of whom use the same ISP. My mails to them are being blocked by SpamCop, with the following explanation:

Since SpamCop started counting, this system has been reported about 20 times by about 10 users. It has been sending mail consistently for at least 32.5 days. In the past 796.2 days, it has been listed 20 times for a total of 31.5 days

In the past week, this system has:
Been witnessed sending mail about 20 times

What the hell? Does anyone have any experience with this? 20 mails in one week shouldn’t put you on a blacklist, if that is what this is. If a spammer spoofs your email address, it shouldn’t land you on a blacklist, right? I mean, you can’t prevent someone from doing that, and it’s not actually coming from your mailserver.
